I didn't see anyone claim battery powered mowers like the EGo are ideal for a 1 acre lot.

Our lot is 0.26 acres less 0.07 acres of house and concrete drive and sidewalks on it - I am guessing the EGo trimmer, edger and blower will be overkill for my use.

And though some people have already converted EGo trimmers to brush cutters, they already sell dedicated brush cutters and Powerhead brush cutters attachments in the UK. I assume they'll sell them in the USA soon enough, and I will buy one when they do. Looking forward to one sizeable battery and a rapid charger and no longer dragging around cords or fooling with a small gas engine.

I'm still skeptical that they would cut a quarter acre - although I'm tickled to death with the ego blower and trimmer

I think my ego trimmer is too old to convert to a brush cutter - I bought a blade and a stihl conversion kit off of amazon and it didn't fit.

it is pretty awesome - I use my blower about every day. I think they had just released the product when I bought them - 5 years ago maybe so I got a battery and a charger with each one.

I've not used E Go tools, but I can say that my 40 volt Ryobi string trimmer is comparable to the Troy-Bilt gas trimmer I used the previous year. Depending on the size of your lot and the total amount of trimming to be done, you may want a second battery so you don't have to wait for the battery to recharge (about an hour) - although you might consider that the break a mature adult needs when working outside in the heat ;-)

We've had an E Go string trimmer and blower for almost three years. Love them compared to our gas models. String trimmer abruptly quit working last year. Called E Go and they said "take it to Home Depot for repair." I did and they did. Kudos for great customer service.
